What is the issue?

Problem: Can't pull or run any model. Using Starlink I can't get any images. Switching to 5G (I'm in rural Greece) allows any download. Seems strange but absolutely repeatable...

System: MacOS 15.7.4, latest Ollama (reinstalled 2 times), Docker is also installed on the machine (seen some people mention it).

Relevant log output

Error: max retries exceeded: Get "https://dd20bb891979d25aebc8bec07b2b3bbc.r2.cloudflarestorage.com/ollama/docker/registry/v2/blobs/sha256/99/9999d473417a8e179d993498195be5f42cab963acc75f4a6b15d981e8b68abed/data?X-Amz-Algorithm=AWS4-HMAC-SHA256&X-Amz-Credential=66040c77ac1b787c3af820529859349a%2F20260329%2Fauto%2Fs3%2Faws4_request&X-Amz-Date=20260329T085126Z&X-Amz-Expires=86400&X-Amz-SignedHeaders=host&X-Amz-Signature=d6a03e3fe12f561ccfe3a95d94554d94223d7168c6af43bbe083c04e2687413a": dial tcp x.y.z.e:443: i/o timeout

dd20... historically has had a lot of issues, the speculation is that it is a storage bucket that is also used to host content that results in it being blacklisted. Since the error is i/o timeout it seems like Starlink is dropping TCP connections to the associated IP address.

Similar issue here - drove me insane. Thought it was a docker version issue or something so had to update and destroy everything.. It worked once I thought I'd try using my VPN ..

@rick-github @apoiat Thanks to both... I thought I was going crazy too. However seems strange to me why a bucket gets blacklisted. Do any of you use 1.0.0.2 or 1.1.1.2?

Self-Note: Doesn't matter, it's Starlink-specific. I use 1.0.0.2 and 1.1.1.2 on both providers anyways.
